Same age as mine but your's is looking more developed!
Weird how they age depending on what other fish are around them.

Can you please post a picture? Orange shoulders are my favorite fish.

Not a good pic but here is my LT. He is about 5 inches now. He is my alpha tang right now but my Chocolate and Sailfin are pushing for seniority.

Following. I have a LT showing up tomorrow. Plus an Atlantic Blue, Chocolate, Blonde Naso and a tomini. I also have 2 biota tang, Fiji Fox and a blow wrasse in QT ready to come out. I just put a white tail in with my Blue eye, 24 hours later life is good. I have some juggling to do. I hope I can put the first 5 in my display at the same time tomorrow. I’ll just need to kill my photo period.

Sounds like the LT is peaceful.

Yes, mine is peaceful but will show aggression at times with other tangs his size in the tank. He doesn't bother nothing else
